    Yeah, given that you already have a quality optic, and I assume some ammo (You did say the surplus funds would go towards more ammo.) I'd go with the Colt, too, and that's as a happy PSA owner.

    Buy the Colt. I have purchased one "as good as the others..." guns before. Never again, Quality first.

    I was in PSA the other day, I live near there Bluffton Store, and they have again switched manufacturers, that is the third by my count. Told me he couldn't say who the new company was but was far better than the previous one. Also while shooting the shit with one of the owners, the Freedom group came up, he told me "We will probably be approached to be bought out by a big company like them soon."


    Great prices on most of the stuff they sell though!

    I didn't know they had a store in Bluffton too.

    Riverwalk business park. Yeah you would think they might advertise they have two stores....... If you were familiar with Palmetto State Indoor Range that is where they are now.

    Well stocked store, always busy

    Depends. Do you already have a good dependable AR, like a Colt, Daniel Defense, BCM, Noveske, LMT etc or is this your first buy? If you already have a good rifle and this is to supplement that one, the PSA is an interesting gamble; good specs, but unproven.

    If this is your first, go with the Colt. I have a PSA upper sitting in my safe waiting for a lower, but I already had a good dependable rifle, so I thought it was an interesting gamble for the price. Honestly with the prices of the Colts, I wish I had waited and bought a 6920 instead.

    I think any respected gun could do a "filty14". if you'll notice, parts in that gun broke and others were replaced at maintenance intervals.

    I see the article more as a validation of the reliability of the AR platform, rather than any single manufacturer...

    but to the point of the the thread, given the unpredictable nature of politics, etc., if I could get a Colt within a couple hundred $$ of a PSA, that is what I would do. however, if I was looking for a GOOD gun and pinching pennies, the PSA Patrol Carbine with the included Aimpoint PRO for $1100 would be my first choice...

    I couldn't pass it up when they were 999.

    Colt would be my choice though.

    I don't believe that is entirely true. There was virtually no cleaning and parts were replaced as they broke- as I recall. There are no real established maintenance intervals, per se.

    There is no decision to make here. Get the Colt rifle, sight in irons and optic, test mags, shoot the heck out of it.

    I think this is a non-question.... Buy the colt and save for ammo later
